\"Take<\/a>One of the biggest mistakes federal job candidates make is failing to sell themselves through accomplishments. Some candidates believe that listing accomplishments is only done on r\u00e9sum\u00e9s in the corporate world. Not true!\u00a0 Actually, a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 for a position in the federal government must show your qualifications to warrant that you meet eligibility requirements. (In other words, you must demonstrate that you meet the basic job requirements.)\u00a0 On the other hand, a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 for a corporate job\u2019s purpose is to capture the interest of the human resources manager and compel them to invite you to an interview<\/a>.\u00a0 The federal r\u00e9sum\u00e9 has a higher standard to meet. You can meet that standard, if you count your lucky \u201cSTARs.\u201d<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 Simply use the \u201cSTAR\u201d (Situation, Task, Action, and Result) method to describe your achievements.<\/p>\n

Review the Job Announcement<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Study the entire job announcement, including any questionnaires and KSA essay questions. Make a list of the specific requirements, including experience, knowledge, and education.\u00a0 Your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 should show exactly how you meet those requirements.\u00a0 Reflect upon your career history and make notes of accomplishments that prove you meet those requirements.<\/p>\n

Elements of a STAR Statement<\/b><\/p>\n

For your accomplishment statement to achieve STAR status, you must go beyond your job description.\u00a0 Your job functions only tell a part of your story; a listing of your job functions does not prove that you are qualified. You must illustrate the results of your work.\u00a0 The impact of your contributions will demonstrate your skills.\u00a0 The STAR model is a behavioral model that describes your accomplishments in a way that validates your work strengths through examples of measured successes.<\/p>\n

S<\/b> \u2013 Describe the situation<\/b>. What is the work setting?\u00a0 (Network operations center supporting 34,000 users spanning five states.)<\/p>\n

T<\/b> \u2013 Define the task<\/b>. It could be a problem, an opportunity you identified, or a major project. (Project to update network hardware nearing end of life.)<\/p>\n

A<\/b> \u2013 What action<\/b> did you take?\u00a0 (Analyzed virtualization solutions, selected hardware and software, led implementation and migration.)<\/p>\n

R<\/b> \u2013 What were the measured results<\/b> of your effort?\u00a0 (Improved system performance 14% and decreased annual networking costs 37%.)<\/p>\n

From STAR to Superstar<\/b><\/p>\n

You are off to a great start when you draft a STAR statement.\u00a0 That is not enough though.\u00a0 Take that result one step further. What was the impact to the bottom line?\u00a0 Quantify a time savings, monetary savings, revenue increase, quality improvement, or service improvement. \u00a0Those results are more compelling with dollar amounts, \u00a0numbers, and percentages.\u00a0 Actual numbers are best, but if you don\u2019t recall the precise number, an estimate will suffice.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that the onus is yours to prove you are qualified.\u00a0 Listing your job functions helps. To shine like a star, you must use the STAR method.\u00a0 Brainstorm to \u00a0think about your key accomplishments. Thoroughly reflect upon your history to recall examples of how you improved operations, resolved a problem, or saved money. If you want a stellar r\u00e9sum\u00e9 \u2013 one that really conveys your unique selling proposition (USP), take the time to share examples of your STARs and let your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 work for you.<\/p>\n
